Reality TV Contestant Says: I Chose To Be Fat
I’ve probably watched about 5 minutes total of the VH1 show “I Want To Work For Diddy” but I still find this story interesting.
Apparently one of the contestants, Kim who also calls herself PoPrah (a cross between Puffy and Oprah), made a conscious choice to gain weight.
“My response about the true reason I chose to come off my 6 day a week work out, healthy eating lifestyle (see my pics a famousvh1.friends.com & click on my photo) which kept me at a size 5 for over 10 years, was because almost every man I dealt with in the industry whether celeb or exec propositioned me sexually and I was sick of it… I wanted to grow a business more than I wanted to be sexy. By the time I got to about a size 18 (180 lbs.) I was used to being big & my lifestyle and didn’t care, it didn’t keep men I wanted to date away, and it didn’t hurt my career because I own my company and produced my own tv shows and people loved me for me.”
That’s interesting though I bet there will be some nasty people out that that say she’s either lying or she’s dumb; however she did add that she regrets her decision.


Um .. i know I choose not to be sad/depressed/starving. ..So perhaps I am choosing to be “fat” too. (US Size 14). But um… yea I just dont wanna be depressed, eating nothing but rabbit food and/or starving.
Ugh … this kinda ..confused me so much I am replying from work - may add to this when i get home…
